Generally, you would see a slowing and cessation of the cramping and bleeding. If it continues, if there seems to be no resolution, I would be concerned. >

Foul smelling discharge (FOUL), fever, tenderness beyond cramping. Heavy bleeding, like soaking a maxi pad in less than an hour.

Generally, as relatively early as you were I would tend to opt to not have the D&C, being very mindful of the warning signs. A uterine infection wont do wonders for future fertility and you would probably end up with a D&C anyway. So keep your eye open and dont be afraid to call your doc for advice or go in to the ER if needed.
